I have earlier pointed out to you that the basic qualities for which we
look are sensitivity, impersonality, psychic capacity and mental
polarisation...
... the first requirement is sensitivity. What exactly is this? It does
not mean primarily that you are a "sensitive soul" — the connotation of
which usually means that you are thin-skinned, self-centred and always
on the defensive! Rather do I refer to the capacity whereby you are
enabled to expand your consciousness so that you become aware of ever-
widening ranges of contact.

I refer to the ability to be alive, alert, keen to recognise
relationships, quick to react to need, mentally, emotionally and
physically attentive to life and rapidly developing the power to observe
upon all three planes in the three worlds simultaneously. I am not
interested in your personal relations where they concern your wrong
personality sensitivity to depression, to self-pity, your defenses, your
so-called sensitivity to slights, to misunderstandings, your dislike of
your environing conditions, your hurt pride and qualities of this kind.
These all cause you bewilderment and let loose in you the floodgates of
compassion for yourself. But you do not need me to deal with them; of
them you are well aware and can handle them if you choose. These faults
are interesting only in so far as they affect the life of your group;
they must be handled by you with care and with the open eye that senses
danger from afar and seeks to avoid it. The sensitivity which I want to
see developed is alertness to soul contact, impressionability to the
"voice of the Teacher," an aliveness to the impact of new ideas and to
the delicacy of intuitional responsiveness. These are ever the hallmark
of the true disciple. It is spiritual sensitivity which must be
cultivated; this is only truly possible when you learn to work through
the centers above the diaphragm and to transmute solar plexus activity
(which is so dominant in the average person), turning it into heart
activity and the service of your fellowmen. [47/8]

The possibility of a definite step forward is yours—a step which will
enable you to take up your life's burden, when it is next imposed upon
you, in full consciousness of what you are and of what you must do. The
period of groping along the path with only the dim light of an illumined
aspiration, is slowly giving place to the sure knowledge of an illumined
mind. You ask me at times: "What prevents fuller light and
understanding?" I reply: "A sensitivity which renders you so constantly
self-conscious (by that I mean conscious of the personality) that your
very assets as an aspirant seem to you sometimes to stand in your way."
[454]

One of your great limitations is over-sensitivity. Your outer shell
needs hardening; you must learn to tune out and to leave unrecognized
that which might disturb your life of service. The proverb runs:
"They say. What do they say? Let them say."
For you this holds much truth. Disciples waste so much time in distress
over the words, thoughts and deeds of other disciples and thus time is
lost that could be more constructively employed.... Remember... that all
suffering along the lines of super-sensitivity indicates
self-centeredness, and this in turn militates against the needed
inclusiveness which will eventually make this group work successful in
service. I point this out, because you have had to wrestle along these
lines during the past six months; your major weakness is this
sensitivity, which leads to an undue focusing upon the little self.
[563]

This growth in sensitivity is difficult to understand. The members of a
Master's group and of His Ashram have to become increasingly
sensitive—sensitive to the Master and to His pledged workers. You cannot
be made sensitive or be rendered sensitive by some type of process or
ordered training. Men and womenare
sensitive, only they do not know it, being so preoccupied with outer
matters, with form life and objective things. Let me put it this way:
What you say to yourself and to others—through your spoken words or your
life—is so noisy that it is not easy to be what you are and to be
recognised as aspiritual
being.

The Master is guided by what He knows of you in your quiet moments of
aspiration, by what you have demonstrated for years to be your fixed
life tendency and by the manner in which you react at moments of crisis
or tension.
The task of the Master is to stimulate the disciple to be at all times
what He knows him to be at his highest times.
A Master does this because the need of the world for decentralised,
forward-looking, loving and intelligent workers is so great,
particularly at this time.

Many have reached the point where they may become sensitive if the loud
assertions of personality are dimmed and the light of the soul is
permitted to pour through. Then the Master can be known and contacted.
When you can get away from yourselves and your personal reactions, your
own interpretations, and your personal demands, you will discover for
yourselves how and in what manner the Master is seeking to impress you
and the group with which you may be affiliated. You will become
sensitive to that impression. You can then facilitate (as it is called)
the activity of the Master by a profound and deep interest in the
esoteric life to the exclusion of your own and also of the Master's
individuality. There are many ways which can then be revealed which will
aid the interplay between you, the disciple, and the Master.
[710/1]

You should realise that... in initiatetraining,
where the objective is wisdom and (above all else) the development of
spiritual sensitivity, every phase of approach to the divine unfoldment,
and all expansions of consciousness, develop so that divinity is
embraced, and every unfoldment of the understanding reveals to the
initiate one major Reality—thefactof
Being....[311]

Into the New World my first message.
You who gave the Ashram,
And you who gave two lives,
Proclaim.
Builders and warriors, strengthen the steps.
Reader, if you have not grasped — read again,
after a while.
The predestined is not accidental,
The leaves fall in their time.
And winter is but the harbinger of spring.
All is revealed; all is attainable.
I will cover you with My shield,
if you but tend to your labors.
I have spoken.

There is no salvation
surer than that through devotion. One can
forgive much where there is unswerving devotion.
The man who is devoted in heart can be relied
upon. It is cause for rejoicing when Hierarchy
is upheld by devotion. At present it is
especially needed. If yesterday's confusion
seemed enormous, what can one say of tomorrow's?
I have already prepared you for the growth ofArmageddon,
and you know that the black wings of darkness
will not withstand the Fiery Sword. Be not
astonished, the Battle increases!

Agni Yoga Teachings regarding
sexIf we compare two
individuals, of whom one dissipates the vital substance while
the other consciously conserves it, we will be amazed at how
much more sensitive the spiritual apparatus of the second
becomes. The quality of his labors becomes entirely different,
and the quantity of his projects and ideas multiplies. The
centers of the solar plexus and brain are being heated, as it
were, by an invisible fire.
